I have a 2008 DB9 with sport pack and 6-speed manual with 59.5k miles. It runs like a charm (can't get enough of that amazing torque and beauty). Typical things for a car this age need attention: new rubber in the back (recommend Michelin Super Sports Z) and the front shocks are getting changed. And those damned TPMS sensors.....

As someone in the market for around $40k, I love reading about all these "high" mileage cars...Seems like Ford straightened a few things out at some point. Good news for everyone.
If your car (any car) is under a decade old, get to driving it. The first ten years are all time-based depreciation. Only after about 15 years, when the market starts to bottom out, is it more about mileage and condition.
If you love the car, drive it.

there is something i believe in it regarding Exotics and super cars, the highest mileage are the more durable and reliable.

Both cars are different and don't think I can let either go. The Porsche is much more powerful than my Aston but I do enjoy driving the Aston a bit more. Can't go wrong with either. Good luck!

Don't think I win the award for most miles but maybe most miles per year... 2012 V8V-S 72k smiles, sense I bought it new. It's been mostly trouble free...
- It had a pressure line slip loose on the transaxle once... lots of oil on the ground but nothing broke.
- The blower fan on the AC was replaced. It just made an annoying tick
- The odd one was the vacuum lines around the manifold became brittle at 12k miles (clearly a supplier problem).
I'm about to pony up for the extended warranty and put another 25k miles on it. At some point I will have to replace the clutch but right now that's still working fine. It's hard to ask for much more out of a high-end, fancy-pants, sports car...excuse me, Grand Touring car.

14,300 miles, 2012 V12 Vantage. Bought a year ago at 9,000 miles. A few niggles -- condensation in tail lamps, squeaky crank pulley, fuel door issue -- but other wise rock solid. Love the car.
I'm an old Esprit owner too, and recognize Karl-Franz from the Lotus talk board. Had a 93.5 Esprit, bought at 18,000 miles and sold at 45,000. Good car. Toyota taillights AND front brakes (from a Supra). And the rears? From a Renault LeCar......
